Fault in Your Motorcycle Accident Case
There are several ways a motorist, manufacturer, or government entity can cause or contribute to your accident:
Other Motorists’ Negligence

If the other party in your accident behaved negligently in any way, they may share fault for your accident.

Recovering Compensation When You Contributed to the Accident
If you are somehow also responsible for the accident, the defendant’s legal team may cite comparative fault. If you receive compensatory damages, your percentage of fault may reduce the compensation to which you are entitled. For example, if you are 25 percent liable for the accident, you would only be able to recover 75 percent of your demand (e.g., $75,000 of $100,000).
Have you hesitated to call an injury lawyer because you think you are at least partially to blame for your motorcycle accident? Do not assume. You may still have a case.
